Sidewalk Requests
1016 N Indiana Ave
- Case Date:
- 7/11/2024
The north side of 13th Street between Indiana and Fess has an old limestone masonry sidewalk, maybe from the 1950s (?) It is interesting for historic reasons - it looks like it matches the sidewalks that flank Lincoln between 10th and Cottage Grove - but parts of it have degraded to a point that it is now a bit awkward to walk on it, especially at night. (It is definitely not ADA-complaint.) Is there an office in town dedicated to historic preservation that could commission a team of masons to redo this sidewalk? There is a concrete sidewalk just east of this block that appears to match the pattern, but it is poured concrete with pattern-pressed and actually looks a little comical, as if it is trying to be something that it is not. Also, a side note: there is no sidewalk on the south side of 13th Street in this block. If there were one there (especially ADA-compliant), people could more safely walk from campus to "The Standard" along that street.

Several trees on east side of Park Ridge East by commercial buildings along sidewalk are overgrown and not only prevent pedestrians from walking on sidewalk but pedestrians trying to cross Park Ridge toward Hagan are unable to see traffic going north on Park Ridge. Trees need to be trimmed.

In the alley between caveat emptor and the jewelry store-- very close to (and visible from ) the sidewalk on Walnut. Very large on one side, smaller on the other, needs to be painted over ASAP. I own the building at 118 N. Walnut. Thanks.
